Blade steel — D2 (hardness 64 HRC): D2 is a tool steel with high carbon and chromium content, which is famous for its outstanding wear resistance and hardness. With a hardness of 64 HRC, the Cardinal knife demonstrates an exceptional ability to keep sharpening for a long time, even under intensive use. D2 has moderate corrosion resistance (it is not stainless steel, but close to it), which makes the knife relatively resistant to moisture with proper care, however, it requires timely wiping and storage in a dry place to prevent stains and rust. Handle material — Wenge: Wenge is an African solid wood with high strength, wear resistance and a unique textured pattern that provides a premium appearance and pleasant tactile sensations. The wenge handle does not slip in the hand, even in wet conditions, due to the natural texture of the wood. Wenge is quite resistant to moisture, but, like any natural wood, it requires care: it is advisable to avoid prolonged contact with water and from time to time treat the handle with special oil. The shape of the blade is Normal Blade: Classic blade shape, versatile and convenient for most everyday tasks. Due to the ratio of blade length (117 mm), width (21 mm) and average thickness (2.4 mm), the knife is excellent for cutting, easy to control during precise operations, suitable for slicing, planing, opening packages, cutting small products, as well as for woodwork in the camp.Detailed analysis of the properties and features of the knife
